ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to chitinolytic enzymes which have chitinolytic activity under alkaline conditions as well as DNA molecules encoding these enzymes and expression systems, host cells, and transgenic plants and plant seeds transformed with such DNA molecules. A chitinolytic enzyme can be applied to a plant or plant seed under conditions effective to control insects and/or fungi on the plant or plants produced from the plant seed. Alternatively, transgenic plants or transgenic plant seeds transformed with a DNA molecule encoding a chitinolytic enzyme can be provided and the transgenic plants or plants resulting from the transgenic plant seeds are grown under conditions effective to control insects and/or fungi.
